YouTube is not obliged to further censor, demonetize or ban those targeted by DMCA notices, as it frequently does. In practice filing a counter-notification to a DMCA notice will make an enemy of both whoever filed the notice and an automated YouTube bureaucracy designed to minimze YouTube's exposure to risk and liability. Even if the black and white of the law is overwhelmingly on your side, you will lose everything material immediately for a chance at abstract victory years in the future.
